What is The Great Christmas Pudding Race?

A unique festive fundraising event which has been held annually in Covent Garden, London for over 30 years. Teams of six competitors navigate their way through an action packed obstacle course, cheered on by thousands of spectators from across the UK and abroad. This year it is taking place on Saturday 8th December 2018 from 11am in Covent Garden, London.

Companies from a range of industries have supported the event in previous years, including Deloitte, Barclays and Ted Baker. The event is organised by an exceptional volunteer fundraising group, Cancer Research Aid Committee, who have raised over £1.5 million for Cancer Research UK to date.
